Life story

Louis Ronald Greco, 64, of Boone, Iowa, passed away at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames, Iowa, on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, after a long courageous battle with cancer.

He was born on January 15, 1959, the son of Dr. Louis and Helen Greco. He was a graduate of Boone High School in 1977 and went on to marry his high school sweetheart, Vicki (Prokop) Greco, at Sacred Heart Church on June 9, 1979.

His career started in 1976 at the Boone County Hospital as an Orderly. In 1990 he became the director of the Ambulance Service. After 37 years of service, he retired in December 2013 at 54 years of age.

After retirement, he and Vicki became “cruisers” which he thoroughly loved and recruited many to join. He enjoyed playing cards with his friends a lot, but his number one passion was family. He encouraged many family gatherings on his patio, grilling, and an endless supply of food. Time spent with family and friends was all he needed. Louie always put others first before himself. This was instilled in his children and will forever be passed on.

The love for his grandchildren gave him tremendous joy. He was always supplying them with candy, treats, and toys. Louie was always there for everyone, no matter the situation. No one was ever a stranger to him.
